Worst fromsoft discourse go
1. Souls is elitist because it doesnât satisfy my specific desires in video games
2. Conversely, âyou havenât really finished the game if you co-opped itâ
3. Invasions & trolling as tantamount to videogame harassment & community toxicity
4. Gwyndolinâs âcanonâ gender/pronouns. this oneâs tricky (and something iâve admittedly engaged with like maybe two or three years ago) because i love gwyndolin and theyâre a real point of identification for trans fans but like....... gwyndolin was never written to fit intelligibly into western trans discourses and you can bet none of the writers know shit about trans ppl in japan or elsewhere lol. Interpret the character however you want but arguing for what should be considered canon is a waste of breath
5. Does this count as discourse? A couple of years ago ENB did a playthrough of demonâs souls where he argued that the âcanonâ subtext of the game was that yuria had been abused in captivity and the âcanonâ message was that she emerged a better person for it because she no longer desired demonâs souls i.e. she had been âcorrectedâ. the whole segment he was defending this reading by saying like âdonât look at me it was the writers who put this inâ like.... nah dude thatâs 100% your reading........... it was Mortifying. Anyway i havenât really enjoyed watching ENB videos since then lol
6. âWhat gender are the great ones?â gender isnât real and iâm going to bed
